Answers:

  • first box =  0.84x
  • second box = 84

=================================================

Explanation:

Think of x - 0.2x as 1x-0.2x. The numbers out front, the 1 and -0.2, combine to 0.8

The 0.8 converts to 80%, meaning that if there's a 20% off sale, then you still have to pay the remaining 80% of the original price.

The 1.05 indicates that we started with 100%, and then add on 5% sales tax, so 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

---------------

Simplifying the expression given to us leads to

1.05(x - 0.2x)

1.05(1x - 0.2x)

1.05(0.8x)

(1.05*0.8)x

0.84x

This shows that the final price, after tax, is 84% of the original price.

The cloth shop has announced a reduction in price by 25%. How many shirts priced at Rs 28 should buy to avail a total reduction
Drupady [299]

Answer:

At least 6 shirts should be brought to avail a total reduction of Rs 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The marked price of each shirt = Rs 28

Discount offered = 25%

So, 25% of marked price  28 = \frac{25}{100}  \times 28 = 7

⇒Reduction on each shirt is Rs 7

Now, total amount reduction needed = Rs 40

So, number of shirts purchased = \frac{\textrm{Total reduction needed}}{\textrm{Reduction on each shirt}}

= 40  Rs /7  Rs  =  5. 71  ≈  6

So, at least 6 shirts should be brought to avail a total reduction of Rs 40.
